JUSTICE JOSEPH j. DAVIS.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE JOSEPH ]. DAVIS.
Gov Scales on Friday appointed as
successor tothe late Judge Ashe,of the Su-
preme Court Bench, the Hon. Joseph ].
Davis, of Franklin county. Mr.. Davis is
50 years of age, ard has served his State
and country in many capacities, having
been member of the lower house OF
Congress for six years. He is. one OF
the purest men in the State. The Ne'rs-
Observer, in noticing the appointment,
says:
ave hope he will accept the appoint,
ment. In case he does the State will
have regained the benefit Of his ripe
wisdom and earnest patriotism in pub
lie life. In case he does he will remain
upon the bench what he has ever been
elsewhere absolutely faithful to every
trust. If ever the scales of justice have
been evenly held he viii 50 hold them to
the utmost extent of his ability, and
more than. this, we opine, could be sad
of no man."

SVmphyx is greater than I. My calling

Judge Walter Clark says That the
law in regard to the prompt certify
ing of Supreme Court opinions to
the lower courts is very important
and proper one. 1t will save much
delay, and often times hardship. 1t
provides that opinions shall be GER
titled by the clerk of the Supreme
Court to the clerks of the Superior
Court the first Monday in each
month. The former law is that
opinions shall be certified down
after each term of court" u The
House has passed this bill as it
came from the Senate, and it is now

sickness i'm the country.

Reports from the country indicate that
there is at this time more than the usual
amount of sickness prevailing. Most OF
these troubles seem to arise from an im'
pure condition of the blood, caused by
an excessive secretion of bile. This
causes fevers of bilious character, and
we regret to say that in some places il
has proved very fatal. We therefore
offer this gratuitous advice to those not
yet afflicted. Keep your liver in q
healthy condition, and your blood rich
and pure. Good blood means good
health, whilst bad blood bad health
Hart's Blood and Liver Pills are entirely

THE FERTILIZER BUSINESS.

According to the census of 1880 Mary
land was by far the largest manufacturer
of fertilizers among the States. She had
then Is establishments employing CAPT
tai of S4,27l so and making an annual
product of fertilizers valued at $40, 1873
New York then produced fertilizers to
the value of 81, l50,3l2. South Carolina,
New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
vania, in the order named, were the next
in rank in the manufacture. the product
of South Carolina being more than two
and one-half million dollars worth, and
of Pennsylvania nearly one million and
a half. These six were all the States
making at that time more than a million
dollars worth. But fertilizers were man
ufactured in nearly all the States. The
total value of the product was about
twenty-four million dollars. There were
364 different companies or establishments
engaged in the business, employing, be,
sides statesmen, more than eight Thousand
hands. The business has increased since
the last census was taken, and these fig
ures give no adequate idea of its present
extent. Phoenix.

Thousands of unfortunate New York
men-the victims of dyspepsia are al
most always men-take liver pills as
regularly as they take feed. They are
such slaves to artificial aids to digestion
that they imagine they will die if they
miss one dose. Every year long pro-
cession of men with ruined stomachs and
acidulous dispositions wends its way out
of the city and goes up to the water
cures in the country, where they can live
on hard Graham bread and cold water
and make themselves decently miserable.
Some people might think that since there
is so much dyspepsia there must be an
other long procession of broken down
men rapidly moving to the cemeteries.
But it is not so. 1t is certain and well
authenticated fact that dyspeptics never
die-of dyspepsia. They live on in more
or less complete unhappiness, as IA kind
of scourge to themselves, and, unfortu-
nately, to others for the digestive sins
they have committed, until their disease
develops into some other malady that
may prove fatal, or they die of old age.
Dyspepsia itself never kills anything but
happiness M doubt some of its victims
have wished il did.-Boston Budget

The race is not to the swift nor the
battle to the strong. The weakest hand
may touch off the cannon whose ball shall
overtahe the swiftest runner, miles away
1t is the virtue of gunpowder, as Carlyle
says, that it ''makes all men alike tall. -
There still remain among some of our
troops those caps of imitation bearskin
which We're once worn to intimidate a
foe. The fierce headdress of the drum
major is the reducto adj absurdum. or
extreme instance of this childish method
which still survives among the Chinese,
and may be seen in japanese pictures.
In an old military text book the Portu-
guese soldiers We're ordered to attack
their opponents with ferocious counte-
nanceS.
But civilization has set aside all this
merely physical impressiveness and sub
stituted invention. A monk, not a sol
dier, invented gunpowder. Savage
strength is powerless against the needle
gun and the unseen torpedo. This does
not annihiate the value of physical
health and strength, bnt it readapts their
use. The young man even in military
school has his bodily health trained not
that he may grasp his opponent in his
mighty arms and throw him to the earth,
as formerly but that he may have his
head clear. his nerves in equilibrium, his
action promptly. w. Ii. in Harper
